A member asked:
I have low iron and vitamin d . i need to gain some weight fast. i also have ibs and night sweats every night....so should i drink ensure or boost everyday to put some ponds on ( like maybe 15 to 20 pounds within a month)?

Calories: Ensure and boost are good sources of extra calories, but ou must also eat plenty of good quality food on a balanced diet. Sounds like you're already seeing a doctor about your problem and they have sent lab tests. Green leafy vegetables have lots of iron. Ask your doctor for advice, or consult with dietician. Hope this helps!
